At this point in the formingoperation the upper end 17 of the tube will be left open to receive thematerial to be introduced therein and after the same has been insertedthe upper edges of the tube will be closed together as shown in Figs. 8and 9 and closed with a seam 18 adapted to securely retain the contentswithin the ontainer, the closed seam being indicated in Figs. 10 and 11which show side views of the finished container taken at right angles toeach other.

It will also be seen that the closing operations of the lower and upperedges of the tube are made respectively at right angles to each other,and that the effect thereof is to bend the tube along the correspondingscore lines 12 and form a closed container having four triangularperforated faces adapted by means of. the flexible cord or connection tobe immersed in a liquid for obtaining the desired infusion.

What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

1. The method of forming a container having four triangular faces,consisting in folding over a sheet of material and join- 7 ing togethera pair of its opposite edges to form a tube, and then closing andjoining together the edges at opposite ends of the tube in planesextending in angular relation to each other.

2. The method of forming a container having four triangular faces,consisting in folding over a sheet of foraminous material and joiningtogether a pair of its opposite edges to form a tube, and then closingand joining together the edges at opposite ends of the tube in planesextending in angular relation to each other.

3. The method of forming a container having four triangular faces,consisting in folding over a sheet of material and joining together apair of its opposite edges to form a tube, then closing and joining theedges of one end of the tube together and leaving the opposite endthereof open for the reception of the material to be introduced therein,and then closing and joining the edges of said opposite end in a planeextending at substantially right angles to that of the first-mentionedend and forming a closed container having four triangular faces.

4. The method of forming a container from a single sheet or blank,consisting in forming a series of triangularly arranged score lines insaid blank, then folding over the blank and joining together a pair ofits opposite edges to form a tube, then closing and joining the edges ofone end of the tube together and leaving the opposite end thereof openfor the reception of the matewagers rial to be introduced therein, andthen clos ing and joining the edges of the said opposite end of the tubein a plane extending at substantially rightangles to that of the firstmentioned end and forming a closed container having four similartriangular faces.

5. The method of forn'iing a container having four triangular faces,consisting in folding over a sheet of perforated metal and joiningtogether a pair of its opposite edges to form a tube, and then closingand joining together the edges at opposite ends of the tube in planesextending in angular relation to each other.

6. The method of forming a container from a single sheet or blank ofperforated. metal, consisting in forming a series of triangularlyarranged score lines in said blank, then folding over the blank andjoining together a pair of its opposite edges to form a tube, thenclosing the opposite ends of the tube along said score lines and joiningthe edges thereof in planes extending in angular relation to each otherand forming a closed container having four triangular faces.

7. The method of forming a container from a single sheet or blank ofperforated metal, consisting in forming a series of triangularlyarranged score lines in said blank, then folding over the blank andjoinin together a pair of its opposite edges to form a tube, thenclosing one end of the tube along said score lines and joining the edgesthereof together and leaving the opposite end of the tube open for thereception of the material to be introduced therein, and then closing theopposite end of the tube along said score lines and joining the edgesthereof together in a plane extending at substantially right angles tothat of the first mentioned end and forn'iing a closed eontainer havingfour similar triangular faces.

8. The method of forming a container, consisting in folding over a blankand joining together a pair of its opposite edges to form a tube, thenclosing one end of the tube and inserting between the walls thereof anend of a tag-string. then joining by double seaming the edges of the endof the tube thus closed together with the tag-string and leaving theopposite end of the tube open for the reception of the material to beintroduced therein, and then closing and joining together the edges ofthe said opposite end of the tube in a plane extending at substantiallyright angles to that of the first mentioned tube end and forming aclosed container having four triangular faces.
